The Fourth Edition of On the Practice of Safety
makes it possible for readers to master all the core subjects and
practices that today's safety professionals need to know in order
to provide optimal protection for their organizations' property and
personnel. Like the previous editions, each chapter is a
self-contained unit, making it easy for readers to focus on select
topics of interest.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this Fourth Edition
reflects the latest research and safety practice standards. For
example, author Fred Manuele has revised the design chapters to
reflect the recently adopted American National Standard on
Prevention through Design. In addition, readers will find new
chapters dedicated to:

Management of change and pre-job planning

Indirect-to-direct accident cost ratios

Leading and lagging indicators

Opportunities for safety professionals to apply lean
concepts

Role of safety professionals in implementing
sustainability

Financial management concepts and practices that safety
professionals should know

Many chapters are highly thought-provoking, questioning
long-accepted concepts in the interest of advancing and improving
the professional practice of safety.

Acclaimed by both students and instructors, On the Practice
of Safety is a core textbook for both undergraduate and
graduate degree programs in safety. Safety professionals should
also refer to the text in order to update and improve their safety
skills and knowledge.

FRED A. MANUELE, CSP, PE, is President of Hazards, Ltd.,
the company he founded after retiring from Marsh & McLennan

Management: Focusing on Z10 and Serious Injury Prevention and

graduate and undergraduate safety degree programs. Mr. Manuele is a
Fellow of the American Society of Safety Engineers and a recipient
of the National Safety Council's Distinguished Service to Safety.
